Wealth should not play a role in what happens. That's not how society works, of course, but wealth should not play a role. A crime is still a crime.

I've personally seen how the justice system fails based on gender, preference, beliefs, etc. I'm more a supporter of equality, even if society does not work that way, and that means that it shouldn't matter if Braff is rich or not.

His reaction was not mine, but I cannot fully condemn it. I can condemn the end result but not the fact that he flipped, if that makes sense.

I was actually trying to avoid using the "lol", which is what I usually use in order to alert people to the fact that I was being sarcastic, but obviously, that did not work.

Not being rich, I can tell you exactly what my reaction would be, whether it would be a result of a prank or not. That kid would be reported to the authorities, and I would do what I could to ensure that he be prosecuted to the fullest extent the law allowed, hopefully preventing further ridiculous activity.

Tl;dr:

Wealth should not matter. A crime, whether a prank or not, is still a crime.

Use "lol" to denote sarcasm.

Don't beat 12 year olds within an inch of their lives, unless it's for a prank. Lol

Logic does need to enter into the situation, but even as a prank, that 12 year old should have faced judgment.

Braff had a bad day. I don't support his behavior, but I also don't fully condemn it. Human behavior can happen spur of the moment. Sometimes, an unfathomable rage overrides the logic center of the brain.

Can confirm that this is an assortment of 15. It's mostly Destiny and Top Cat. There may be 2 Crota, but a Chase is not guaranteed. I hit up 10 Target stores on Thursday on 15 minutes of sleep over a period of 36 hours to help people who wanted a Crota get a Crota. Lol Managed to snag 1, and my friend snagged one. Can confirm that 2 stores had the issue where the backroom employees purchased them.

Out of the 10 stores, only 3 got the Chase.

Bottom line (tl;dr):
Don't stress yourself out. There should be at least 2 Crota, but most Targets are limiting one purchase of one character per client, so if they have a Chase and a common, they may only let you buy one. You may also get lucky and be able to get both.

Honestly, I'm done playing nice about this entire thing. I will call people out on their behavior from now on. The Pop! I needed wasn't even for me. I spent 16 hours yesterday, between the online stuff and traveling everywhere, handling Pop! and Dorbz stuff. I only got about 5 items for myself, and the rest were all for other people.

If you are buying specifically for resale, you are part of the problem and honestly bring shame to this hobby.

Barnes & Noble needs to get their website together, and they need to handle things better in store, as well. One customer scooped up six Batman and they allowed him to do so, despite ain't sign on the table that said limit 2 per customer.
